Double-A Trenton lost. Justin Christian extended his hitting streak to 18 games with a double. Dan Brewer and Rene Rivera also doubled while Marcos Vechionacci went deep. Austin Romine had the night off. Adam Warren gave up four runs in 4.1 innings of unspectacular work. Pat Venditte took the loss when he allowed five baserunners and two runs in an inning of work. They clinched the division title anyway because New Hampshire lost.

Short Season Staten Island won the first game of their doubleheader. Cito Culver and Rob Segedin went hitless, but Gary Sanchez picked up a single. Kramer Sneed gave up a run in 5.1 innings, and Tommy Kahnle closed it out by striking out one and walking another in the final inning.

Short Season Staten Island lost the second game. This one was a snoozer. No hits for Segedin, and neither Culver or Sanchez played. Dustin Hobbs allowed five runs in four innings, woo.

Also worth noting, Brett Marshall was promoted to Tampa. Looks like he’ll be getting a playoff start or two.

So will Kahnle start next season or will he remain a reliever and move him more aggressively? Scouting reports seem to suggest his stuff will play better as a reliever.

phelps continues to pitch good and not get any love. he is probably the least talked about prospect. warren held that title until he had the 15 k game.

Does he really have a future as a big leaguer? He seems like another Moseley type.

I’m pretty sure his ceiling is higher than a Moseley type. He has some potential, but with all the other guys (Stoneburner, Noesi, Nova, Warren, Ramirez, Banuelos, Brackman, and Betances)people pay less attention to him.

Probably a 4-5 starter or a good mid-reliever, which has value.

Really hoping Trenton faces Bowie in the playoffs so I can go check it out.

out of all the pitching prospects in AA and AAA I would give up phelps,noesi and brackman. Noesi tested positive for enhancer, brackman is 25 going on 26 next year and Phelps may be the one guy you have to give up where you might lose something. I would not trade warren,betances, or banuelos. betances is still 22 in AA,still has potential if healthy, banuelos for the obvious reason that he’s 19 this year in AA with a good feel for pitching. Warren can hit 94 and could be legit.
